Once again, the value of the coins is 1:1 big blinds in the final round. You guys keep saying you don’t know what the value of the coins will be. It was made abundantly clear in episode 1! I’m more tilted than DW right now!
I agree, they clearly stated that 1 gold coin is equal to 1 big blind in the final round. Idk how they could miss this. For reference, you can check the 15 minute 12 second mark of the first episode.
Yeah, he says that clearly at the beginning. It’s understandable that your average fan misses that or forgets it, but Daniel should absolutely know that. No excuses there.
Ali Nejad literally says the gold coins will be converted to chips at a rate of 1 Big Blind per coin, 15:15 into Episode 1. Daniel WAS IN THE ROOM! Ali had only been talking for 45 seconds. You know every minute of every episode so far but can’t grasp this clearly defined rule of the game?! What?!
”I’m still hurting.” Should have been cut out from this clip. Unfortunately an obvious spoiler of DWs ultimate fate in this show. You could see it on Dnegs reaction too. ”Oops”
Man Andy made some mistakes but David just destroying his teammate just to later bust out was embarrassing to watch…yet so satisfying! Karma got him lol
For the value of the coins at the end (being 1 coin = 1 BB) it is pretty similar to Party Poker's Premier League Poker from so many years ago where players played and earned points and then at the final table the points were turned in to chips. At the final table the points/chip leader would usually have as much as 3x the number of chips of the shortest stack at the table, but having that big chip advantage wasn't like some guarantee of who was going to win. It seems like here they are going to be pretty deep stacked at the end where a few extra chips might help a little, but likely won't be the deciding factor.
@53:20 D Negs the best strategy is to tell the other player you're going to steal and the only way they will get half is by trusting you and splitting and then you force them to do that
Btw i know it was 2 episodes ago, but terrence's math was incorrect on EV difference between going first and going third. Assuming everyone has a 50% chance of winning going 3rd is 11.25 gold coins worth of EV worse than going first Edit: lmfao nevermind I just finished the vid and saw that you addressed this. Proud of myself for catching it I guess
I'm guessing the teams are NOT watching live. They're probably on a 15m delay. The editors just splice the film together to appear live. That way you can spend 5 and talk to your team.
Jungle v Yoh was crazy last episode. He finally figured out he should’ve gone 1st. I didn’t see him as being that confrontational but I should have bc he’s soo intelligent and a straight up assassin!
The A fold wasnt that bad. Straight and flush were on board + his A was really bad. The K9 fold was a little weird since the Q is an easy card to bluff as well for his opponent, that should have been a call.
Great show, and great analysis! About the game theory, if there are a lot of rounds, the best proven strategy is to split the first round and then copy whatever your mate did the last round. It's the most sustainable strategy that really works.
DW blind RFI’d w A4s which was acknowledged by Josh. This means Josh can raise wider and DW, now that he’s looked can think it’s a safer play to shove because josh was raising against a blind hand. I think theory takes a back seat here.
Please for the love of god whoever is managing these vids ... LAY OFF WITH THE FUCKING ADS!!! JESUS CHRIST!! An hour long vid and I counted at least 8 interruptions with POINTLESS ads. Really makes these fun reviews PAINFUL to watch. It's not like you need the money. Make these podcasts as enjoyable to the viewers as you possibly can. On a lighter note. I really enjoy the content and the Game of Gold is a refreshing change to the poker community.
I like the show, but i kinda feel its missed potential as a reality show. Just the phasing is a bit too slow. There is too many episodes per challenge. I think in a potential season 2 would be great to have maybe 2 episodes per challenge and then a elimination instead of 5 episodes before someone gets eliminated. Then there would be more time for interaction amongst the players between challenges aswell. Keep up the good work!
